HEARST: 1HAVE sent Mr. Truman, President of the United 8tates, the accompanying telegram requesting him to include in one of his talks to the nation his basic reasoning for his de cision that ability to pay is a proper consid eration in the settlement of wage disputes : "The President, "The White House, Washington, D. C. "Dear Mr. President: "As a manufacturer, for over 44 years one of an estimated 26,000,000 little business men of this nation, I find it not only impera tive but proper and fitting that I respect fully request that you include in your talks to the nation the basis of reasoning for your recent decision that ABILITY TO PAY is *a . proper consideration in the settlement of wage disputes. "YOUR DECISION ON THIS SUBJECT IS SO REVOLUTIONARY THAT I WOULD FURTHER REQUEST THE IMMEDIATE RE- I CONSIDERATION OF YOUR DECI8ION. "Mr. President, the tried and proven economic laws governing all employment have been based on merit ? ON THE ABILITY AND WILLINGNESS OF THE EMPLOYE TO PRODUCE A REASONABLE AND FAIR PRO DUCTION QUOTA AT AN AGREED WAGE. ? ? ? "I REGRET to say, Mr. President, that this * nation is now in one grand mess and I am afraid that your decision on ability to pay, if allowed to stand, can only make matters worse. "Your decision now transcends in impor tance of settlement all other questions or arguments on wage problems or wage ne gotiations. "Unless your decision is revised I don't see bow any other subject except the ability to pay can be discussed, let alone settled, until congressional decision is reached on this most dangerous and serious precedent. "By your decision I believe you have un wittingly thrown a monkey wrench Into the gears of reconversion and may well have Relayed peaceful settlement of many serious strikes and the return to work of millions of workers. "By your act you have, I firmly believe, placed the economic life, the very existence Of millions of SMALL BUSINESSES, INDI VIDUALS AND SMALL FIRMS like my own IN SERIOUS JEOPARDY. "Your decision robs the little business man of all incentive to operate efficiently, to expand, to strive to create more employ ment, more jobs, or to even remain in the business at all. "Employment on the basis of abilitjT to * ? pay leaves no incentive to the hard-working, ambitious, thrifty young men of this nation, \ or the hard-fighting, deserving, returning servicemen who want and SHOULD BE EN COURAGED to start into business. Even with government backing they are licked before they start. "Little business is the largest, most broad ly distributed and, potentially, the most powerful group in America. And you must know you cannot, Mr. President, leave us to die on the vine. "Your decision on ability to pay has so many intricacies and complexities that it is impossible to discuss them here, but I do feel that a national debate on the subject should be held. "IN THE MEANTIME I THINK EVERY SMALL BUSINESSMAN IN THIS NATION SHOULD PROTE8T YOUR DECISION THAT ABILITY TO PAY IS A PROPER CONSIDER- jl ATION IN THE SETTLEMENT OF WAOE DISPUTES BECAUSE, MR. PRESIDENT, IT JUST WONT WORK OUT IN PRACTICE. ? ' * ? "MR PRESIDENT, may I respectfully ask ?" you in all fairness and sincerity what * would you do, what would have been your answer if, as we are now being approached, a prospective employe had entered YOUR former business establishment, demanded YOUR books, a statement on YOUR profits and financial standing as the determining factor In the wages YOU were to pay him? "And how are you planning to determine the salaries to be paid to the employes of the federal government? By the amount of money in the federal treasury ot on the merit of the employes? "You have us OVER A BARRELL, Mr. President, and YOU and YOU ONLY can help us by clarifying and qualifying YOUR decision on ABILITY TO PAY as a proper consideration of wage disputes. "Sincerely and respectfully yours, "Walter L. FRY, "President, Fry Products, Inc. "S7M Woodward Ave., "Detroit, Mich." The above letter and telegram are reproduced by us as a paid advertisement in the belief that the facts set forth should y.1 be brought to the attention of all thoughtful citixefls.
